Popis:	Lactoferrin (Lf) is a natural iron-binding globular glycoprotein, present mainly in milk. It maintains human health through its multifunctional activities, including immunomodulation, iron metabolism, and antioxidant and prebiotic efficacy. It also shows anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral activities against a broad spectrum of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19. In addition, several investigations established that Lf is involved in bone metabolism, neural development, and metabolic disorders. In this review, we summarize the
